Show Us Your Glory, Lord… November 4-11, 2024

A song that fits our Theme…Open the Heavens…show us Your glory!

Dear Praying Friends,

I am writing this the Sunday before Election Day 2024. It will post at midnight on Monday, just one day before. I see so many praying and seeking God during this time and regardless of the outcome, I believe we are seeing the beginning of a true spiritual awakening. I have prayed for my own city for over 40 years and have expanded those prayers to our Nation and our world in more recent years. Even though our challenges are difficult, our God is the same yesterday, today, and FOREVER. Don’t stop praying! Don’t stop seeking! Let’s keep praying this month:

SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD, as we pray with THANKSGIVING!

Pray on, Saints! ~Gina

Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, I come today to give You thanks for Your goodness. Help me to do this constantly, not focusing on the troubles of this world, but remembering the goodness You have shown me. Help my brothers and sisters everywhere to give thanks today, too. (add your own response)SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD, as we pray with THANKSGIVING!

Tuesday, November 5, 2024: Philippians 4:6 Consider adding fasting to your prayers today

Prayer Pointer: “On the surface we can think, dialogue, plan and be fully present to the demands of the daily routine. Simultaneously and deeply within, we can be in prayer, thanksgiving, and attentiveness to the Spirit. The secret places of the heart become a sanctuary of praise in the noisy playpen of the marketplace.” ~Brennan Manning

Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, thank You for Your reminder today in Philippians that prayer and thanksgiving can overcome my anxious thoughts. Help me, Holy Spirit, every time I get anxious today to turn back to prayer with thanksgiving. (add your own response) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD, as we pray with THANKSGIVING!
